employees lack care to serve customers, super, super expensive food… 14$ for a piece of grilled cheese… almost all the cats are always asleep and the service isnt good either. bathrooms stink too. went for the cats, barely saw any, paid 55$ for two grilled cheese and badly made smoothies and went. dont recommend
What a great visit. Excellent service was #1. The waitresses are very polite and in a good mood. It is also very well managed since there is sometimes a waiting line to enter. We highly recommend the cat gentleman, it's the best grilled cheese I've eaten in my life! Cats are very cute and calm, affectionate. However, there was a hard litter smell in the ladies' room but that's all the negative I have to mention. We will definitely come back 🥰
A truly cat-happy atmosphere. The cats are active and sociable. Accessible on foot from a subway. However, we don't go there for fast service. 55 minutes for a veggie chili and 3 grilled cheeses. It was very good! I recommend this great restaurant/cat and we will try their second one ☺️☕️ 🐱
Very nice cat cafe. I had a lot of fun. The cats are very cute and friendly.
Initially came here due to a 4.5 star rating but please be wary of what I noticed from my experience from this cafe that I think is worth 2:
1. The cats are almost all asleep (this makes sense because cats sleep a lot so I’m not upset at that since they looked happy) or avoid you most of the time if you try to pet them. So the little cards regarding their personalities don’t really match. It doesn’t also help when they’re rules regarding what you can and cannot do which might not be good for kids that anticipate playing/petting with the cats.
2. The bathrooms smell like ABSOLUTE FILTH. If you have children please don’t let them touch anything in the washrooms and have them wash their hands WELL.
I have many friends who own cats and I have cat sit before and never experienced this so when I was hit by a wall of cat piss and shit smell I was baffled because there wasn’t any visible urine/fecal matter other than one litter box that LOOKED empty (had the litter without any cat feces in it)
3. The overall place was well lit and decorated but again, some areas/corners reeked of cat piss which leads me to believe that there’s lack of proper cleaning by the employees/owners. The odour and sanitation can be worked on considering this place serves full on dishes.
4. I ordered a pistachio iced latte which had ALOT of ice in it in a rather small cup and a hot chocolate which was kind of overpriced for its lack of quality and small size. When I saw the menu I noticed the food seemed just alright but not too worth getting.
5. The employees lack attentiveness. I had to get up from my seat to grab their attention at the front desk where two young ladies were sitting and chatting. I understand that it’s fine to rest and chat but not to the point where I had to get up. They’re definitely polite so I’m not upset at their attitude but I think if the washrooms reek or some areas of the cafe need attention, they should tend to their responsibilities.
Pretty nice place, but the wifi is so terrible it was impossible for me to work there
J’ai adoré le pain perdu. 😋😻 Et que dire des beaux minous. 😻Un beau moment en famille.
What can I say, what can I say... A mo-nu-men-tal disaster, between the NON-EXISTENT appearance of CATS, the mental load of the place the very opposite of the word warm and the appetizers far from being amusing (yes! yes! I'm weighing my words!) I came out with an overdrawn account and a destroyed palace. I longed for a simple and hearty snack but what was my dismay when the so-called “dishes” appeared. Wanting to quench my thirst first, I opted for the maple, peach and raspberry smoothie. So far nothing alarming, right? Don't worry, the terrifying taste of rotten fruit accompanied by its sewage juice will clear your mind. As if that wasn't enough, my bagel had to be on ozempic in addition to being calcined, not to mention of course the cream cheese which I still struggle to find to this day. A ball of an insulting diameter presented in such a way as to believe that it was the 8th wonder of the world, I stared at the plate before even realizing that it was intended for me. So, if you want to experience a memorable shock and at the same time see a historical record for the number of 0 cats GO FOR IT 🤗
Quite disappointed with our experience last Friday morning. However, it started well, with a very warm welcome from the employee who welcomed us.
However, after we sat down and ordered, it took over 40 minutes to receive 4 hot drinks. Meanwhile, a 2-3 year old child was coughing non-stop at the next table, without protecting her mouth of course, tapping on her parents' cell phone.
When we finally received our drinks, only one was hot, two were lukewarm and my latte was practically cold.
We quickly put everything on and all we wanted was to leave as quickly as possible (and never come back).
Cats are cute, but mostly visit armchairs, if you are seated at a table, better luck next time.
It's a shame, the concept is good, the mission is honorable, but the experience is disappointing. We will not come back.
The food was good, there were good rules of conduct to ensure respect for the cats. On the other hand, the cats spent the
The majority of their time traveling as ninja to avoid the hands that were chasing them in order to give them love. They seem to spend a good portion of their time either perched somewhere or running away from people. I found that humans were too much.
Also staff were rude to me and it was uncomfortable. I felt like a “bum” and when I wanted to order more so as not to just take up space in this very popular cafe, I was ignored. Finally I wanted to change places, while waiting for someone to decide to come see me, and I was told that I did not have the right and that the new place I had chosen was going to be given to CUSTOMERS. The implication was that I was just taking up space that paying customers could take up. You should have asked me at least once if I wanted anything else if you wanted me to pay because I was just waiting to finally catch someone's eye. waiters/waitresses in order to be able to pay more. They must have professional stresses that I don't know about, otherwise people who work in a cat café, that should normally be the very definition of calm.
Anyways, I can see cats on the side of the street anyway.
Partly I believe that the cats and the owners are victims of their own success and that it could only work if they always took reservations and accepted fewer people.
I definitely won't go back, plus I'm just a bum taking up space.

The cats seem happy and that's the most important thing, the food was nice too, the cafe itself deserves a lick of paint. Nothing to say about the service, it was okay.
I took a chai latte which was just hot milk with a few spices on top, no taste...we stayed there for almost an hour with our daughter, all the cats were sleeping and we weren't allowed to touch them so as not to wake them up, or pick them up when they were walking...so we left after an hour, without really playing with a cat and I don't think we'll come back
Very nice cafe but sometimes very busy
Tense atmosphere, could be more friendly. The place is small, but the cats are cute.
I used to love this cafe however I find they have changed
1. I find it much more crammed than it used to be
2. Not as much option for food as there used to be and I find the food used to be better. Also, we got there 1 hour after opening and there was no more soup of the day.
3. Coffee was cold
4. It was freezing in there, like they could heat a bit more
5. I think they should mop the entrance, they ask you to take the boots off which is fine, but then you have nowhere to step with your dry feet
